LeftyP Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Joni Mitchell's "River" is a great song. Whisper it quietly but Barry Manilow does a pretty good version of it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Spaceman came travelling by Chris De Burgh. There's a quite impressive version by Celtic Woman on Youtube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I saw Panic Room do a version of Enter Sandman re titled as Enter Santa that was very entertaining. This was a few years ago but not heard them do it since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 [quote name='T-Bay' timestamp='1507271152' post='3384326'] The slade and wizzard classics are a laugh to play and will get any crowd going (well possibly apart from one at a retirement home, but short of a wheelbarrow full of amphetamine it may be a struggle).
